What is a MAKA KNIGHT (TM)

Friday Knight News


The term MAKA KNIGHTS™ is an acronym for the martial art knighthood association from my book “Enlightenment Kicking and Screaming: The Paradox of Martial Art Training”. The book is available on amazon.com for Kindle. A knight of the order is an attested active martial artist regardless of style, rank or association that follows the code and tenets of martial art knighthood. It is the foundation to the teachings of Mushin University™.

The Knights of the Martial Arts understand that martial art skill and fitness are two of the first challenges encountered in the study of martial arts. For every martial artist that leads a life of a higher calling there is the MAKA KNIGHTS™. It takes a special type of martial artist to live a life of deeper purpose, the life of a knight of the martial arts. It takes a special dedication to be a knight of the martial arts.
